I wrote at the end of April that I’d finished the
memoir I’d been working on about my husband’s and my life in Bali and traveling
the land of Alzheimer’s. I felt empty and really
missed the writing challenge and wondered what would come next.
Well, it turned out not to be finished! I met an
extraordinary woman, Vicki Lein, a vivacious writer of songs and books who
volunteered to read ‘Piece by Piece’. She had brilliant ideas of what needed to
be cut and what needed to be expanded on. And I was thrilled to do the work as
she stoked the fire of creativity.
Now I’ve finished the third draft and instead of
feeling empty as I did in the Spring, I am excited to have time to pursue other
writing avenues, including my new blog called 'Alz World' (www.alzworld-susantereba.blogspot.com).
These are stories and discoveries along the Alzheimer trail that I hope will
inspire other caregivers of loved ones with this terrible disease.

And as always, the creative process includes new
designs for “World on a String’ and gearing up for the shows in Tucson the first two
weeks of February. Life is ever full and abundant and I feel such gratitude for
that.
What do you feel grateful for?
